Laura on 23 May 2014

The International Wine Challenge 2014 results have been released this week and here at GWW we're celebrating because we actually have more than last year. Below is a selection of wines that have taken home the Gold and Silver medals.

GOLD WINNERS

Unanime, La Mascota Estate 2009
Argentina
"Young brooding style, currently oaky, but also a wealth of berry and blackcurrant fruit, with a savoury tinge. Give it time to come out of its exuberant youth."

Camel Valley, Cornwall Rose Brut 2012
England
"Really individual English style in the best possible way. Characteristic aromas of hedgerows and apple orchards, leading to a focussed, well balanced palate and a pure, refreshing finish. Mouth-watering."

Champagne Taittinger, Prélude Grand Cru NV
Champagne
"Rich, toasty style with fleshy, broad fruit, good minerality and a buttery edge. Refreshing acidity with a creamy acid palate, complex with a long length."

Morgenster Estate Red 2003
South Africa
"Chocolate, tobacco, cedar, plum and spices. Soft tannins, beautiful development. At its peak, drinking well"

Riesling Kabinett, Paulinshof, Brauneberger, Juffer 2011
Germany
"Lovely complexity of lime, white peach and a firm mineral edge. A lovely tangerine finish with a touch of kerosene. Beautifully balanced."
